Jon looks at the basics of jumping with Harriet Upton: Part 1

In this video Jon looks at the physical and mental elements of jumping from the riders perspective. Harriet Upton helps to demonstrate how our body/position physically effects the horses movement when jumping. The first part of this video focusses on our approach to the fence in the canter.
Part 2 coming soon....

This video was so helpful it will get me ready for the new horse I am getting next week, he is a paint and he is only about 12-13 hands tall (I am only 10) and I would like to try jumping him. He has had kids jump him over small X jumps but I would like to complete with him.😁😀😊Wish me luck☺😀😀😁😁😂

Ah, this is really helpful, thank you! I'm going to a show jumping competition in 3 weeks on my grey arab and I have never jumped before, so I really appreciate this video :D

[@junito1957]

wow lots of info thanks for posting this

[@equine2020]

Hes spot on.

[@jaspervonbach3621]

I thought this was an excellent video! Very helpful, this is exactly what I'm working on, the gear changes in the canter.

[@myequinelife4731]

this video is amazing and really helpful for me and my new jumper. The horse in the video is absolutely stunning im in love 😍

[@jessicac7526]

such an informative video and really helped me understand how to properly canter and what a stunning horse x lovely rider aswell

[@cheesethekoala8756]

Wow, that was so helpful! U have been looking for a video that would explain the canter speeds and how to ask for them, it's been something I couldn't understand and it was slowing me down a lot in improvement, thank you so much!

[@JADE-bu8pb]

I really appreciate how well this concept was explained, super helpful. It would have been great to have the camera focus on horse and rider while they were demonstrating the technique (even though the instructor was very easy on the eye). Hope you make more videos in time as your ability to convey information is straightforward and clear.

[@sashapaulino6249]

I have a Horse and he love to jump!❤️

[@spickandspanhomeorganising2836]

So helpful!!!

[@MsKilly1]

why isn’t the camera following the horse? I want to see the rider and what they’re doing.

[@debbypearsall7556]

It would be nice if the camera were on the horse as they circle, instead of the instructor. There are only two short glimpses of the horse and rider on every circle. It makes it impossible to see the ride. Too bad, it sounded like an interesting lesson.

[@kieragiesbrecht4242]

What breed of horse is that? he/she is beautiful.

[@kenzoviola]

American Paint or Pinto

This is sad look at how tight the reins are😡😔

[@juliawestrom3551]

When you ride a horse you need contact with the mouth (if you use a bit), different horses need different levels of contact. If the rider was constantly giving too much pressure with the reins (ie. No release of contact) the horse would of been showing signs of discomfort and frustration, and probably would not canter let alone trot. Tight reins don't mean much.

[@CrazyCincyMom]

Short reins long arms

[@maddensporthorses3467]

you have no idea what you’re talking about.

[@jaspervonbach3621]

I bet you don't even ride!
